Name of horse(s) you currently own or favorite Greystone Horse: Dually – 10 year old quarter horse. I also keep in touch with my previous horse Wrangler that I owned for 10 years.

What do you like best about working at Greystone? I like to work with people and horses in a safe and supportive environment the GMTRC provides. I enjoy the team dynamics or rider, horse, volunteers, and instructor working together and the benefits experienced by all members. It is truly rewarding to see the progress in our riders as they master a wide variety of skills and form bonds with their horse and team.
